A wide, flat sandy beach at low tide, but also plenty of space at high tide. Pretty harbor, breathtaking views from above. Please note: between May 1st and September 30th there are dog restrictions on the entire beach except for a small area just before Coppet Hall beach!

Set in the lovely Colby Woodland Garden, the Bothy Tea Room makes for a great stop. Serving lunches, cake, coffee and tea and more, it's the ideal place to refuel on a hike. It's managed by a mother and daughter duo, Penny and Sam.

Amroth has a rich industrial heritage; the region along the coast was mined for ore, which was processed to create anthracite coal at the nearby Stepaside iron works. Today, Amroth has a more relaxed vibe and is the first (or last) settlement on the famous Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail. There are a few places to eat and drink, as well as accommodation options, in the village.

Opened in 1849 by the Pembrokeshire Coal and Ironworks Company, the Stepaside iron works were an imporant part of the region's industry. Here, ore collected from the cliffs between Saundersfoot and Amroth would be processed in the blast furnaces and coke ovens. A railway was built to transport anthracite coal to the harbour at Saundersfoot, though it ceased operation in 1939, not long after all activities stopped at the workshops in 1930. Today, it makes for an excellent walk, full of industrial heritage and natural beauty.

Coppet Hall was where coal was shipped out during the region's 19th-century industrial heyday. At that time it was known as Coalpit Hall. It was connected to the iron works at Stepaside by a railway line that now forms part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. If you're in need of refreshment or a refuel, there are sandwiches, ice creams and hot drinks available from the Kiosk.

This lovely little valley connects the coast path and Wiseman's Bridge to the old iron works at Stepaside. It's particularly beautiful in spring when the wildflowers are at their best and butterflies flit from flower to flower. Walkers, cyclists and horse riders all use this pretty bridleway.

This is a splendid viewpoint above Wiseman's Bridge Beach. The vista south towards Monkstone Point is particularly good. This section of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path follows an old railway line that's now a cycleway. The railway was used to transport coal from the colliery at Stepaside to Saundersfoot. It closed in 1939.
